on this day, @NASAVoyager is 18 hrs 35 mins 09 secs of light-travel time from Earth (2016:117:120000:1L). In 1336 Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch) ascended Mont Ventoux. .In 1564 William Shakespeare iwas baptized in Stratford-upon-Avon – his actual birth date is unknown. In 1962 US Ranger IV landed on the far side of the Moon but fails to send back pictures due a technical fault. In 1986 the meltdown at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union (now Ukraine) happened, arguably the world's worst nuclear disaster to date
In Loan Servicing, one of the conversations I have with all and sundry [borrowers, lenders, accountants, auditors] is the difference of interest accrual TO a date versus THRU a date – the difference is one day’s per diem, which on any one loan may not be that significant, but on an entire portfolio has to be accounted for. To my amusement, I find that same conversation happens when I am figuring out the countdown to an event or vacation. My reasoning is that I have three days left [ WDW minus 3 and counting] because on Saturday I will be at the House of the Mouse – using the TO vacation reasoning [albeit at the resort rather than in the park] after that. Other more formal countdowns .show it as WDW – 4 because Sunday is the first actual park day – using the THRU reasoning. I’ve compromised by using my count on the blog and posting the alternate count on Facebook, which means my counts don’t jibe – unless you know accruals. Or maybe the difference is whether or not you count today – the first does not and the second does. After all, today is the 26th and Saturday is the 30th [and if you do the math you have four days] whereas I’m not accounting for today.
And here you all just thought I couldn’t count, neh?
